Causes of the United State’s War with Mexico
• Expansion of Slavery
– Settlers began bringing slaves into future Texas territory while it
was still ruled by Spain.
– When Mexico gained it’s independence from Spain the new
government outlawed slavery but Texan settlers refused to follow
the laws. Plantation owners in Texas territory needed slaves to
continue their economic growth.
• Annexation of Texas
– Texas had won it’s independence but Mexico still didn’t recognize
them as a free nation.
– When the US decided to annex Texas (accept them into the
Union), Mexico decided to fight for what was “theirs”
• Border disputes between US and Mexico
The Political Road to Manifest
Destiny Cont.
The eyes of TEXAS are upon you…
• Founder: Stephen F. Austin
• Why did they revolt against Mexico?
– Didn’t like having to adapt to the Mexican way of doing things
– Didn’t like having to follow Mexican laws
– Didn’t want to have to speak Spanish or use Spanish even for official
government business.
– Texans were very upset when Mexico outlawed slavery.
– Mexico stationed troops in Texas to enforce laws and make Texans pay
taxes.
• Texas was an independent nation for about 10 years before becoming part
of America in 1845.

• COMPLETED MANIFEST DESTINY!!!!!
Mexican Cession: land ceded by Mexico to the U.S. 1848
Gadsden Purchase, 1853
The Political Road to Manifest
Destiny Cont.
And last but not least….
Gadsden Purchase (1853)
• Gave us a small strip of land at the lower end of Arizona.
• Cost us about $10 million dollars which is LOTS of
money if you compare it to the entire Mexican Cession
which only cost us $5 million more.
• It would create a possible route for the transcontinental
railroad.
The Economic Road to Manifest
Destiny Cont.
California Gold Rush
• Soon after the War with Mexico was over Gold was
discovered in California.
• This caused a HUGE boom!
• Thousands and thousands of people flocked to
California to seek their own buried treasure.
• Most were young, single men… not many women
made the trek at first.
• Many people gave up everything (homes, families,
etc.) for a shot at California gold.
The Economic Road to Manifest Destiny
Con.
California Gold Rush (effects)
• Many new towns were created, seemingly, over night when
people moved in to press their luck at mining.
• Many of these new BOOM TOWNS were abandoned as
quickly as they were made although this boom gave
California enough settlers to apply for statehood by 1849.
• The large increase in population spread disease rapidly to the
Native Americans and Mexicans living in the region which
severely reduced their numbers.
• Not many miners became wealthy
• Gold was not easy to find
• They were charged outrageous prices for supplies they needed
and were swindled out of their money as well.
The Road to Manifest Destiny…
Immigration to the US resulting to the California
Gold Rush
• Miners pooled in from all over the world
• Chinese immigrants fled crop failure and famine in China.
Many Chinese were resented for their successes in mining
because they were much more patient and found gold where
white miners hadn’t bothered to look.
• Mexican immigrants came from older mines in Mexico
• Immigrants from elsewhere in Europe, South America, and
Australia.
• Soon there started to be a lot of tension between citizens and
immigrants.

Research each person and add a fact about her or him
The birth of industrial society posed many new challenges
for Americans. The mid 1800’s witnessed the birth of
several major movements for social reform. A reform
movement tries to make changes in society to correct
social abuses and to improve living conditions.
Alcohol abuse was widespread among men, women, and children.
Reformers linked alcohol abuse to crime, the breakup of families,
and mental illness.
In the late 1820s, the Temperance movement (a public
campaign against the sale or drinking of alcohol) was started.
In the mid-1800s the spirit of reform made its way to the
classroom. At this time, few children attended school because
of the cost.
Efforts to change this practice were led by Horace Mann,
who would later receive the nickname “father of American
public schools” .
Reformers saw education as a way of solving some of the
problems in society, such as poverty and crime.
Abolitionists were people who were opposed to slavery. In
1807 the Congress abolished the importation of slaves.
Abolitionists were now demanding a law to end slavery in the
South.
William Lloyd Garrison was
a vocal abolitionist and
publisher of the newspaper
The Liberator. He also
formed the American AntiSlavery Society in 1833.
Frederick Douglass, an escaped slave, lectured against
slavery and quickly became a leader in the abolitionist
movement.
Significant Reformers
Fredrick Douglas
• An escaped slave who later
purchased his own freedom
• Abolitionist, spoke out
against slavery.
• Edited the North Star - an
abolitionist newspaper
• Wrote an auto-biography
that was very important in
teaching people about how
bad slavery was!
The Underground Railroad was an informal network of secret routes
and safe houses used by 19th century Black Slaves in the United
States to escape to free states and Canada with the aid of abolitionists
who were sympathetic to their cause
Harriet Tubman was a
runaway slave turned
abolitionists, who helped
hundreds of slaves escape
along the underground
railroad.

…Harriet Beecher Stowe
I wrote a book called , Uncle
Tom’s Cabin. A story about a
slave who had several
owners and his family. My
story helped convince
Northerners that slavery was
a cruel indecent practice that
had to be stopped. I sold a
lot of books!
